Writing Web Novels In America-Chapter 191 - 189 A Day Under the Camera

The next morning, in the office.

Wang Jian watched as the image designer Irene and the so-called promotional director were rearranging his office.

"Come on," he complained, "the computer screen is blinding near the window, it’s completely impossible to work."

"Golden sunlight spilling on your black bangs will give off more of an artist’s vibe," Irene casually replied.

"Right, you’ll also need to change your cup."

She took out a crystal goblet and placed it on the desk.

"So, I’m supposed to be in a tailored suit, drinking mineral water from a goblet, and then typing?" Wang Jian was speechless.

"That’s precisely the image best-selling authors should have in the eyes of the public," Irene replied without changing her expression.

"Damn character setup!" Wang Jian bit his teeth, sat down in the office chair, and began to do some of the poses designed by Irene.

He loosened his tie gently, unbuttoned the top two buttons of his white shirt, and slowly started typing.

A few minutes later, feeling thirsty, Wang Jian poured some more mineral water into the goblet.

After a casual swirl, he slowly sipped a few mouthfuls.

At this moment, the office door was opened, and Tom came in.

"Wang, ABC wants you at the studio," he glanced at the camera and instinctively lowered his voice, "The preliminary special effects for ’Anomalies and Creatures’ are done, they need your input."

Damn, finally...

Wang Jian stood up, smiled, and said, "Miss Irene, I still have work to do, shall we call it a day?"

Irene consulted with the promotional director and then said to Wang Jian, "Mr. Wang, the audience will be very interested in a producer who is both a best-selling author and a technology elite."

"Mr. Tom, could you communicate with the studio? We promise not to interfere with the normal operations of the crew."

Tom looked at Wang Jian, smiled, and said, "I’ve already arranged it ahead of time."

"HBO and ABC have no issues with this."

"After all, it’s a promotional tactic."

Wang Jian gave Tom a disdainful look.

"Wang," Tom came over and whispered, "just consider it part of your billionaire dream, and of mine and Dorsey’s millionaire dream."

"US Dollar, it’s all for the US Dollar!" Wang Jian glared at Tom and helplessly nodded his head.

The promotional director, seemingly inspired, complimented, "Mr. Wang, your image is great."

"I believe through this promotional film, you’ll surely become the idol of literary women across America."

What do I need fans for?

I’m after US dollars!

Wang Jian waved his hand, indicating that the promotional director could go get ready.

Half an hour later, a group of people appeared outside the studio.

Holding the title of overall producer for "Prison Break Special Forces", Wang Jian decided to first take a look at the shooting situation in this studio.

It must be said, ever since the show secured a consistent streaming audience, the director had completely let himself go.

The sounds of "rip, rip" tearing clothes and "thud, thud" of muscle collisions made Wang Jian wonder for a moment if he’d walked onto the set of an adult film.

"Mr. Wang," the director signaled the actors to stop and came over, greeting him respectfully.

The stars of WWE also smiled at Wang Jian as if seeking his favor.

But as for their looks...

Anyway, Wang Jian felt a chill in his heart and quickly changed the subject, "How’s the shooting progress going?"

"We’re currently on the fourth episode, which should be the first major climax of the series," director Simon answered.

As a producer, Wang Jian was very satisfied with Simon.

He didn’t meddle unnecessarily in the shooting process and respected the director’s opinion, which set him apart from those Hollywood producers who would insist on inserting actors into the crew on a whim. freewёbnoνel.com

Just that sometimes, it can be a very long time before you see...

The cinematographer of the promotional video, seizing the moment, began to ask, "Director Simon, are you enjoying working with Mr. Wang?"

"Of course," Simon nodded earnestly, "perhaps because we’re both creators, he has great respect for the director’s work."

Wang Jian listened as others sang his praises in front of the camera while he glanced over the script.

The plot of the fourth episode was: the protagonist becomes the leader of the fringe inmates, and on behalf of these bottom-tier individuals, he attends the prison territory division meeting.

Then, with his fists, he beats the fighters from the other Five Major Gangs in the ring and finally wins a small piece of territory.

Mom’s eggs...

It feels like some sort of martial arts tournament.

Wang Jian looked up at the filming location and added in his mind, "And a striptease version at that..."

The sight was indeed a bit eye-searing.

For the sake of his own mental and physical health, Wang Jian handed back the script to the director and prepared to leave.

"Director Simon, thank you for your hard work. You must present the best work to the audience."

"Understood." Simon nodded, and sotto voce, the director of the promotional video mumbled, "Seize the chance, Mr. Wang is definitely one of the investors who loves to give opportunities to new directors."

Isn’t it just because it’s cheap?

Wang Jian smiled, turned, and walked away.

The director of the promotional video made a grateful expression and quickly followed.

The image designer, Irene, watched the director and frowned.

"I’m the producer of the promotional film!"

Soon, the group arrived at the set of "Anomalies and Creatures."

What came into view was the mansion, a perfect 1:1 reproduction from the original work.

Waiting to go on set, Vera Farmiga rushed over as soon as she saw Wang Jian.

"Wang," she wagged her tail, her face all smiles.

"The tail moves?" Wang Jian exclaimed, looking at the upgraded version of the "strange clothes."

"Ha." James came over, "Our prop master also worked on ’Jaws.’"

"By the way, Wang." He led Wang Jian to a playback device, "What do you think?"

"Is this the City in the Sky and the spaceship from ’Anomalies and Creatures’?" Wang Jian asked, pointing at the screen.

"Yes." James nodded, "This is the final result from Industrial Light & Magic."

Why do I get a "Star Wars" deja vu?

He was going to ask how much it cost, but seeing the camera behind him, he refrained from asking such a question that didn’t fit his image.

James chuckled lightly and volunteered the answer, "10 million US dollars."

"Based on the budget of "Anomalies" season one, we will be paying Industrial Light & Magic 35 million US dollars for special effects."

million US dollars?

How much could I actually make from "Anomalies and Creatures"?

He controlled his expression, trying to maintain a calm and indifferent demeanor.

"As long as it brings a good product to the audience, money is of no importance."

Hearing this, Tom and James nodded seriously, "Art cannot be measured in money."

"The love of the audience is what matters most!"

The director of the promotional video instructed the shooting while sighing inwardly.

"These people, even in Hollywood, could make a name for themselves, couldn’t they?"
